THE city engineer of Minneapolis has
just completed his estimates of the cost
of sewers for next year, and the enorm-
ity of the sum to be expended gives
some conception of the rapid growth OF
that wonderful city. The showing is
$24O, 600 in round numbers, about equally
divided between property owners and
the city treasury.

ALTHOUGH the policy of nominating
Fred Grant for Secretary of State in
New York may not be understood OF
endorsed, it can certainly be said that
the action was unanimous and harmon.
ious on the part of the republicans,
There is good deal In having New
York republicans harmonious and the
unanimity which was shown at the state
convention augurs we'll for the success
of the ticket.

SOME of the hot-headed frontiersmen
would like to 60 to war again with the
Utes because the latter refuse two In
dian horse-thieves. This is poor ex-
cuse, and the government can not afford
to be too nice in its distinction of horse
thieves on account of race, color or pre-
vious conditions. The truth of the Ute
affair seems to be that the whites tried
to steal horses from the Indians and
were beaten at their own game.

THE GREAT EXPOSITION.

The second annual exposition (purely
Minneapolis affair can only be ap.
preciated by those who visit the magnfi.
cent structure which stands as q monu.
ment Of enterprise TO the pluck of those
who labored so untiringly to found an
industrial exposition and TO the manage
ment who have charge of affairs. The
building is filed to its utmost limit with
everything useful and ornamental
There is nothing made in the line OF
machinery that cannot be found in me-
chanlcal ball. The display of fancy ar
ticles is simply wonderful, while the
general arrangement of every depart
ment is perfect in appointment and af-
fords the visitor q source for gaining
knowledge never before presented in a
practical way. Every farmer in the
State should deny himself and family al
most anything rather than to, miss the
exposition, for there are so many feat
ures of value connected with the exhibit
which furnish food for thought and
which cannot fail to benefit the intellect
of the dullest mind, that a visit from
everyone will be more than repaid.
Particularly fine is the display of PEN
manship made by the Curtiss Business
College. 1t is the finest output of sam
Piles of practical penmanship ever pre-
sented to the inspection of critic or
novice In this country. Mr. Curtiss has
built up for his college a name that
stands at the head of all educational in
stitutlons of its kind. The young man
who attends his college comes out pre-
pared to enter any kind of commercial
business his mind may direct him to
to undertake, and no single feature of
the exposition attracts more attention
than his display. The art gallery is a
paradise-or as near such as mortal can
expect to see on earth. Some of the
grandest paintings ever modelled by the
hand of man are in the collection, and
one stands in silent admiration and won
der as the room is entered. We might
go on and enumerate the sights to be
seen without end, and after all had been
said, there would vet be lacking words
to do justice to the show. It must be
seen, as before remarked, to be entirely
appreciated.

from the Wesht q and when / left the fair
there wasn't wan 10 say, Dinny, are you
going to the Aist or are you going to the

home, and was near kilnagross. when
met man riding along the road forninst
me. 'Good-evening, friend, said he.

l got down off av me horse, not this horse,
but the other horse, and the man got down
off av his horse, that's this horse, not the
other horse, and we swopped and rode
away But when he had gone twenty
yards he turned round and called after me.

Some few years ago | was reading case,
reported in the newspapers, in which a
gentleman had knocked cabman down
because he had been impertinent to his
wife, and it appeared from the evidence
that the chief insult addressed to the lady
by the cabman was that he called her a
woman" This led me to consider, not for
the first time, why it was that woman"
applied as mode OF address to any fe-
male, is generally considered as an insult
was reminded the other day again of this
peculiar sensitiveness on the part of the
female sex by another case, reported in the
newspapers, in which, speaking of a butch
er, the reporter said the lady that Mr.
married was barmaid." Apart from the
snobbish tendency to call every person
who wears pet;icoats lady there is de-
cided prejudice, almost universally enter
tanned, against addressing any woman
whom we love and respect by what may
be called her generic title. And it will be
noted by any one who has taken the pains
10 make any careful observation on this
subject that this prejudice is mainly en-
tertained against the use of the vocative
case. For instance, none of us would think
il derogatory to speak of our wives or
mothers as being charming, clever or beau
tiful women But none of US, unless he
was speaking in anger or in strong re5uke,
would address either his mother, his wife
or his sister as woman :" and, strange to
say. this prejudice does not seem 10 be of
modern date-N0tes and Queries.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking of of revenue stamps from pro-
prietary medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as well as reliey-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's Au-
gust F7oleer and Boschee's German Syrup, as
the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the 10
cent size. The 1ltgate F'oteeT for dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have
perhaps the largest sale OF any medicines
in the world. The advantage of increased
size of the bottles will be greatly appreei-
ated by the sick and afflicted in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles, Tor 10 cents, remain the same size

THE FINDING OF THE Lyle.


There lay upon the oceans shore
What once tortoise served 10 cover.
A year aud more, with rush aud roar,
The surf had rolled it over;
Had played with it and flung It by,
AS wind and weather might decide it,
Then tossed it high. where sand drifts dry
Cheap burial might provide it.
It rested there TO bleach or tan,
The rains had soaked, the sun had burned II;
With many ban the fisherman
Had stumbled oe'r and spurned ii;
And there the fisher-girl would stay,
ConiectuTing with her brother
How in their play the poor estTGy
Might serve some use or other.
So there it lay. through wet and dry,
As empty as the last new sonnet,
Till by and by came Mercury,
And having unused upon il,
Why. here cried ne, this thing of things
In shape, material and dimension.
Give it but strings, and, 10 it sings,
A wonderful invention
So said, so done. The chords he strained,
And as his fingers DER them hovefed;
The shell digdained soul had gained
The Tyre had been discovered.
Oh empty world that round Us lies
Dead shell, of soul and thong I foTsaken-
Brought We but eyes like MereuTy's,
In thee what songs should waken.

kANDlhEW.
Did you ever sail in dream-canoe
To the honey comb reefs of Kandikew,
The island built by aquaiical bees
Who carry their sweets down under the seas
The sands of the beach that simmer and shint
Are powdered sugar white and fine;
While pillows of syrup fall and rise
Ger candy pebbles of every size.
There's perfume borne on every breeze
From the fruit preserves on the orchard trees;
There are limpid jellies in every lake,
And hills and mountains of frosted cake;
There are children here who roam at will.
Free To forage and eat their fill
But they lack one thing of bliss complete
For they cannot endure the taste of sweet
So they sigh in vain for a sylvan shade
With brooks and rivers of lemonade
And axes of vinegar clear and strong,
Where they fish for pickles the whole day long
Aud ships come sailing from happier chimes
With craba apples, cranberries, lemons and lines
For these, I've heard. and It's doubtless true,
Are all they can eat in Kandikew.-S Nicholas

San Antonio Express.
The visit of the San Antonio and
Belknap Rifles to Washington, and their
success in the competition of the
national drill, must prove grand thing
for San Antonio and Western Texas.
1t will prove great and valuable adver-
tisement of our city and people, and just
such an advertisement, too, as was
greatly needed. Too many people in the
north and east still regard San Antonio as
rough frontier city, with the older
people illiterate and uncouth and
the Younger ones of the "wild
and woolly" description, and
no doubt thousands of the visitors to
Washington sought the camp of the San
Antonio boys on the expectation of seeing
curiosity in organized companies Of
young men OF the ovid west" manners
and characteristics, and with half saw
age style Of uniform. To these people
the San Antonio boys were revelation,
and, as before stated, their successes at
trected the attention of the whole world
of visitors to the pleasing contrast they
made to what was expected b so many
TO be seen. They found two companies
of as handsome young men, Of as fine
physical development, Of as high
order Of intellect and educational
accomplishments, OF es soldierly
bearing and gentlemanly depors-
mcnt in every way, as could be found in
an equal number picked from any com
munlty-a body of young men any com
munity might well be proud Of; and San
Antonio, through the exhibition made by
her rife companies, will take a mucn
higher place in the estimation Of the PeO
pie of the country, and have the eyes Of
hundreds of thousands attracted 10 her
who otherwise would have thought of her
only as quaint old city, populated by
uncouth frontier people, and located at
the southern jumping off place" of the
United States. Our rife companies have
done the city good service, and San An

MORGAN, TEX May 3l.-The Morgan
Waterwork9 and Ice Company is new
enterprise for this city, the organization
of Which having only been perfected few
days since. Those who have taken stock
thus far are among the best business
men in the town. Seventy shares have
already been taken, and but little effort
was made to sell them. They will soon
begin work IN earnest, and there is
scarcely room to doubt success will at
tend them. As soon as the necessary
money is subscribed az eight inch well
will be bored in central location
of the city. The contractor who
is to bore the well guarantees a suti-
cheney OF vster TO supply tn whole city,
and until he has procured such supply
will not exact cent. When the well is
finished an ice factory will be established.
Those who invest in this enterprise feel
that they are but "Casting bread upon
the waters" All the business places
and most of the residences in the city
will be supplied with water, conducted
by underground pipes from this well.
Thus Morgan will have g good system of
waterWoTks which, though not so eX-
pensive as those OF larger cities, will be
equal to sll the demands OF our little city.
